P.S - I realize those weren't all gold discoveries but a lof ot the KXL team has worked for major mining companies(such as Rio Tinto, Freeport McMoran, CVRD etc.) and have worked with world class gold deposits as well. So they'd know a good thing when they see it IMO.

P.P.S - Robert Hawkins - initial discovery and development of the Jerritt Canyon district in Nevada and the discovery of the Richmond Hill gold deposit in South Dakota
